As the Semester continues the FCA group continues to Catch fire in their efforts to see God move in a big way through their life and their campus. thanks to your donations we were able to provide the athletes material to reach the lost as well as develop their faith walk with God. The awesome board to the right was made by one of the student leaders- Abbi Maraldi. Please continue to be in prayer for the student athletes here that God will have his hand upon the group as we call upon his in so many ways!

Omondi Amoke (Basketball) was the number one CA state prospect coming out of high school. He is now with CSF and he came to YLH FCA to share his story of coming to the Lord. In front of 200 Yorba Linda high students Omondi reached many with the way to Jesus Christ. The video is long but it is a must see video.

Monday Mike Lorenzen (Baseball) and Abbi Maraldi (Volleyball) spoke at the FCA event outreach.
Abbi shared her heart explaing no matter if you are an athlete or not, whether you play in college or not, that our mission is to honor and glorify God with in everything we do.
Mike talked about his coming to Lord as a junior in high school as he turned from alcohol and drugs. He explained his choice of turning down a lot of money to come to Cal State Fullerton. That choice meant everything to him now that God used him to lead someone on his team to Christ.
It was awesome, as Mike and Abbi both were excellent examples and influence of Christ to these students.

A continued thank you to all that are apart of this journey with us. This happens through your prayer and support because God is moving.
Lets all continue to pray that God will have his hand upon these students, these schools, and move through FCA in North OC.
In him,
Brad

Tuesday Night at Cal State Fullerton we started up our new semester. This new year our theme is "Catch Fire". The student leaders came up with this theme along with a bible verse that is focused around FCA studnet athletes catching fire with God to see him move in a powerful way through their life and this campus. God has gifted them to have reached this new level in their life. It is great to see them developing, growing, encouraging, and helping one another to step up and out to reach all God can do through them.

It was awesome to see our leaders leading. Our Co-president Mike Lorenzen (baseball) lead the bible study and did an outstanding job.

About Kayla

Hi, I'm Kayla Koch! I currently attend Biola University where I am finishing my Masters in Teaching and I work as a part-time teacher for Calvary Christian School in Santa Ana. I am blessed to have the opportunity to volunteer for FCA. Since my graduation from UC Davis in 2009, I have felt God leading me to minister to the student-athletes at Cal State Fullerton by using my experience as a collegiate gymnast to relate to, encourage, and ultimately point them to the Lord. My prayer is that these athletes will find their sole purpose and identity in the Lord and that this would be evident by the way they live their life and compete in their sport.
